Most young children are covered by their parent's health insurance, and many elementary schools and high schools offer under insured or uninsured parents group coverage but once a young adult turns 18 and heads off to college they are on their own and often uncovered in case of emergency. Student health insurance is a very important consideration and many parents automatically begin a policy for their new adult children. If they cannot, or do not think about it students can be left with hefty medical debts at a time when college loans, credit card debts, and car loans dominate their lives and create huge debt loads.

Health Insurance For The Uninsured & Universal Health Care Coverage
First, Wisconsin's Fond Du Lac newspaper has a scathing op-ed article on the health insurance plans of presumptive republican presidential candidate, John McCain. According to the story -- entitled "Commentary: McCain's health-care plan anything but 'comprehensive'." In the article, the author slams McCain's proposed health care system for not allowing people with preexisting conditions to acquire affordable health insurance plans. The author also states that McCain's plan is "a guarantee that insurance companies will continue to reap record profits and that working families will see an increase in their health-care costs."
